Effect of container depth and sedimentation time on quality of Jatropha curcas L. oil

Formation of different phases during sedimentation of J. curcas oil in horizontal and vertical container; (A) clearing oil, (B) transition phase with compacting sediments, (C) raw oil with increasing amount of solids, (D) compaction phase with compacted sediments. Height of interface H, relative sedimented volume RV and relative contamination RC vs. sedimentation time t during sedimentation in a horizontal and a vertical container.
